Giving is one of the most beautiful things we can do - it is a fundamental human trait and one that has the ability to touch many people's lives in ways that we never could imagine. The act of giving freely away what we have without expecting anything in return taps into something incredibly special about humanity. There is something about the unconditional love that comes with freely giving that makes us feel like we are connecting with others on a deeper level. While it can be difficult to muster up the courage to give away what we have, knowing that it could make someone else's day or week brighter can be enough to get us into the giving spirit.
